Here are edited excerpts from an interview:Can you please tell us how the global task force for India came about? For example, the Global Task Force on Pandemic Response is looking to catalyze and streamline the ongoing mechanism for the private sector to mobilize private assistance, in sync with governments and non-profit organizations. This is the first time in the covid-era that such a country-specific task force has been created. Can you recall when was the last time such a task force was created? Going forward, the task force will support other hotspots in consultation with US government to generate maximum impact.
